Week in Review

Sorry I haven't taken any pictures this week but my life is still moving. Thursday I watch Owen in the morning so Danalisa could go on a tour. He is such a sweet little boy! That night Kristina came over to sit with Millie while she slept so Brady and I could go out to a pub with his friends. I wish I had taken pictures! It was the cutest little place. I had to duck my head to walk in the front door and the walls were all cobble stone. It was really fun to get out. Friday I babysat a little girl named Mary, she is Millie's age and in our ward. They had a lot of fun together. That night we went on our date so Danalisa watched Millie. We went to dinner and saw a movie. I LOVE going to the movies! It may seem lame with all of the other tours and things we could be going on, but nothing is better then a crowded theater. Friday night Jodi and Tony held Game Night at their house. It was a little tricky to have Millie there so sadly we didn't stay too long, but I am always up for a good game of Catchphrase. Jodi made little ham wraps that were so good. It was just ham with cream cheese and a green onion inside. So easy and so yummy! Sunday we were late to church, Millie wasn't to thrilled to do anything she was asked to do, so we had a hard time getting out the door. Our Sacrament meeting was amazing! We had an air force pilot and his wife speak. It was so moving to hear what they had to say about war and religion. I wish I could remember word for word what was said, but the spirit was so incredibly strong. At the end of the meeting the Bishop asked for everyone who had seen war to stand. It's amazing how much respect you can have for a person you have never even met. I think the whole room was in tears. Today Connie came and we had our second knitting lesson. We learned how to rib, increase and decrease. I am attempting to follow a pattern she left for a Christmas stocking. It's just a little one for Millie, but I'm excited to see if I can figure it out. I'm suppose to switch colors and sadly we didn't have time to learn that so it was all be green. To those who knit; is it hard to switch could you explain it to me over email? Tomorrow is Tuesday and Millie's Nana will be here for the week. Millie is so excited she can hardly stand it! Every time the door opens she runs to see if it's her Nana. I can't wait for her to be here!

I agree with how much respect you ahve for those Men and Women in uniform that you have never met it gives me goose bumps. They are brave people and sefless people. I wish I could have heard it with you. Maybe you could find a way to plug into my brain so I don't miss a moment. I LOVE YOU SISTER and MISS YOU MORE

Your sacrament meeting sounds really wonderful. Are you guys going to be coming back to the states for the holidays at all?

Amanda said...

No, we are going to travel while Brady is on break. I do have tickets to come home in Feb.

Mike and Me said...

Did some one say tickets? and something about Feb? there are about 20 people on this side of the pond that think this is going to be a mighty long winter wainting for the jolley old month of Feb. Can't wait to see you and Millie and sorry Brady isn't coming. Tell Nana thank you for the special delievery, and to have fun with our baby, Millie was so excited about Nana coming.
love you all

A very nice post Ms Flamm. Skipping to the bottom line if you are changing colors at the end of a row you just pick up and start knitting with the new color. Weave in a few ends later. If its in the round email me and i will give you more info.

Shelly said...

yeah. You are going to come home in February. I would love to try and maybe plan to come home the same time as you so we can see you. We will have to see, depending upon how cold it is. I worry about Bryce being in the cold because the risk of RSV is so much greater! Hope to talk to you soon. I hope you are having a blast with Nana!!

If you want to switch colors, all you do is switch: cut the yarn when you want a new color, and tie the second color right there. I don't know if that is how it works with knitting, but that is what I do when crocheting...Good luck.
